Abstract (en)
An apparatus including a sample holder which fixedly holds sample vessels arranged on a same arc, a partition plate, a light guide which is configured by optical fibers and which transmits fluorescent signals emitted from respective test samples, to an optical sensor, the single optical sensor, and a light source which generates excitation light. Fluorescent signal emission ends of the light guide are opposed to the optical sensor, and fluorescent signal incidence ends of the light guide are respectively opposed to the sample vessels via the partition plate therebetween. The partition plate includes an excitation light optical unit for selectively guiding the excitation light from the light source to only one of the sample vessels arranged on the arc, and a fluorescence optical unit for guiding only the fluorescent signal emitted from a selected one of the sample vessels to the light guide. The partition plate is coupled together with the excitation light optical unit and the fluorescence optical unit to a driving unit, to be rotatable about a center of the arc on which the sample vessels are arranged. Fluorescence is detected while the excitation light is guided sequentially to the sample vessels arranged on the arc, by rotation of the partition plate. <IMAGE>
